CONGRESS-.

The short session of Congress is more
than half through, and the record is good
as to the business done. The interstate
commerce bill has passed the Senate as
reported from the Conference Committee,
and in spite of n stubborn fight TO be
made by the railroad interests in the
House it is expected to go through. The
statesmen in the popular branch OF Con
gress have caught the idea that there is a
popular feeling all over the country
among the voting classes in favor of the
provisions relative to The "long and short
hauls," and the one against pooling"
This fixes the bill in defiance of the
powerful lobby The Railroad Com
mission will have large discretionary
powers, and can take into consideration
the peculiar circumstances when rail
way has to carry freight in competition
with a water line Perhaps the enact
ment of the law will induce a grand
contest on the part of the railroads
against its requirements. They would
be backed by such bodies as the New
York Chamber of Commerce, which
takes clear and sensible view of the
difficulties of rating freight the same for
the long and short haul.
The electoral-count bill, which has been
in conference committee, has been put in
shape TO command the assent of the rep
resentatives of both houses, and will be
reported some time during the present
week. There is little doubt Of its pas
sage, and with it we shall have provision
against dangers of very grave charac-
ter and the recurrence of conspiracies
such as that of 1876
The Mexican pension bill will doubt
less be brought up this week.
The bill for relieving honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors, disabled in
war, will have the precedence.
With regard to tariff reform, it is mott
ceable that there is lack of vigor, and
as the days pass every delay indicates
lodging.

Luck of "a Musical Genius.

Spencer, the man who wrote the opera
Little Tycoon is a queer genius. He IS a
mild sort of religious crank and used to sing
in the choir in a country town in New Jer-
sey. lie offered his opera 10 everybody in
America who had ever produced comic
opera, but they all refused to touch it until
he struck George Bartholomew. Of the
Temple theatre, Philadelphia, who agreed
to put it on the stage. it is said that Spencer
almost tainted when Bartholomew told him
he would do it,. and went around among lis
friends Tor days afterwaTd telling of his good
luck and always shedding tears during the
recital
One day while he was trying to induce a
couple of managers in New York TO take
hold Of his opera, he felt so certain that they
would do so that he spent all but 80 cents Of
the last - he had in the world FOR bottle
Of wine, in the hope that it would help 10
mellow their hearts and clinch the bargain.
When they bad drunk the wine they refused
to accept his opera, and Spencer was in des-
pair He bought supper and then walked
the streets all night because he did not have
enough money left to buy bed. In speak
ing of the matter afterward he exclaimed
pathetically: "Just think of it / spent
nearly the last cent had on those fellows,
and even then they couldn't produce my
opera" AS it only cost something like
$4,000 to pfeluce it the cruelty of the man
ayers is apparent. Pioneer Press List

BootmakinT Extraordinary

The celebrated Chicago sausage machine
has been eclipsed. In this machine the pig,
it will be recolected, is said to enter at one
end and on the whisk of handle TO emerge
in sausage The Vienna papers are making
merry over bet made a day or two ago by
celebrated shoemaker in that city. He
undertook from given calf 10 manufacture
pair Of boots within twentyfour hours of
the animals death. The conditions were
made and a committee was appointed to see
that they were duly carried out Large
stakes were put into the hands of an impair
tial stakeholder. Early in the morning Of
the appointed day calf was killed in the
presence of numerous witnesses. The skin
was at the tannery at noon; it was properly
tanned and turned over to one of the most
skillful hands Of the spirited shoemaker that
very evening, and next morning it reap
peared in the shape of pair Of boots, which
were won by the man who owned the calf
that had carried the skin tho day before.

TIL, Prevailing Stag, super,titions.

II is well known that in no profession are
guperstitions more prevalent than in the
dramatic. They are not at all admitted
superstitions, but they still exist to greater
or less degree. Augustin DAILY has recently
named his new play Love in Harness. I"
70 tries always to get three names into his
titles "for luck, " and 50 his play bills give
"A Night or" Love on Clutches, -
"Nancy & Co., " "After Business Hours, 4"
etc. Lester Wallack, it isSaid, has a super
stition that death scenes are unlucky, and he
will not now permit them on his stage. Gill
bert and Sullivan were at one time reported
to have a superstitious prediction for pieces
that began with 2, and even at first gave
their "Mikadon the name OF "Poohbah," so
that it might follow the successes Of "Pina-
fore, " Patience, " Pirates of Penzance :"
princess and Peril e 'Iolanthe'' and "Prin.
cess Ida Tho latest instance of supersti-
ton is the refusal of New York manager
to open with lis new star, Marguerite Fish,
on December 13, because - is unlucky AS
the 18th comes OH 4 Monday, however, a
good many plays must open on that day. -

1.-THE Commercial Club" of Chicago
quietly bought tract of ground near the
city and moved on Congress with plan
to accept it for the purpose of erecting q
fortified garrison for military station of
United States troops. The quiet gentle
men of the Commercial Club had quiet
" determined among themselves that pc
licemen and militia were not match
for Anarchists in case of trouble,
and this was the proposed way to
better Chicago's condition of defense. A
resolution was put forward in the Senate
last year to cover the scheme, but it was
pigeon-holed in committee. 1t has APP
peared again in the House and been ia
vorably reported by the Military Com
mittee. But it will have stormy time
when debated on the floor.

The SIM thinks that the choice of Sen
ator which was to come off last night in
the Republican caucus at Albany only
brings attention to the fact that if the
Republicans had not Systematically VIC
lated the Constitution Of the State a
Democrat would be Mr. Evarts' colleague;
and it adds: eff the things that are done
by the Republicans of New York, Con-
necticut, and New Jersey were to be done
by the Democrats of Georgia, South Car
DINA, and Mississippi, heaven piercing
howl of indignation would arise from
Republican virtue in the Senate, and the
first express train to the South would be
loaded with full-sized investigating
committee"

"The men who have charge of the sys-

the matter. The head of the department
seems to lack the nerve to take hold of
the matter with the firmness and decision
so much needed. "-AHanta Constitution.
The Constitution has got hold of the

There is no doubt that in more depart

GALYANIC RESUSCITATION.

The Indes-ANpeaI advances the flag of
free citizenship and all its rights in an
able article against the scheme of persecu-
tion involved in resurrecting the dead
laws against barratry and champorty,
and very properly remarks that they had
just as well indict the newspapers that
published the advertise ments of the cou-
pom sellers. AS to the galvanic resusci-
tation Of the old laws it says:
"Of course these acts are even deader
than the ancient and alien laws they seek
TO establish among US. They can have no
practical force, for every just and reason
able consideration is against them. Be-
sides the private right and interest which
the bondholders have in asserting the re-
ceivability for taxes of every coupon re-
fused, the right and interest involved is a
public one in which any citizen of Vir-
einia, at least, has a sufficient share to
Constitute him party TO any suit involv-
ing this receivability; and his contribu.
ton to any such suit is just as legal as If
be were party to the record"

Political Dyspepsia.

We raise our hat to the Norfolk
Virginidn when it endorses the Richmond
Times for saying:
"a debt settlement brings no additional
taxes. re-establishes the reputation of
our State, and brings capital here to devel-
OPP our resources. The policy that organ
ICES sensation against creditors is the. dys-
pepsia of the Old fogyism that cannot di-
gest its responsibilities. Virginia has
tried secession and nullitioation and has
made a contract to let them alone. Our
National Government under Democratic
control is pride to every patriotic citi-
zen, and to denounce its authority as cor
rupt is nonsense. Under appeal

Levi p. Morton has set his heart, or
rather his pocket, on the senatOrship.
His friends do not claim for him any
other merit than the prestige of a Con-
gresham and an ex-minister to France,
in both of which posts he dispensed a
lavish hospitality commensurate 10 his
check-b book and his taste for style. New
York may well lament over the chance
that Mr. Morton may be her Senator

Lecocq, the French composer, explains
that American taste is felt in Paris, and
that the playwright and operate com
poser feel that immoral and vulgar witt

both England and America. The Ameri-

matte art may be said, therefore, to reflect
its tone on European circles, and with
good effect.
